Post your faves.

I've always really liked the Halo soundtracks.

Rez is one of my favorites.

Any soundtrack of Zelda. I will choose my favorite one when I have time.

JSRF soundtrack.

Big fan of World of Goo. That's the only game (I think) in which the soundtrack actually grabbed my attention. Oh, maybe with the exception of Super Mario Galaxy in places.

Kingdom Hearts soundtrack is the only one I have on my iPod.

Star Wars would be the obvious one, Batman (the Tim Burton one) has an awesome score as well.
Madagascar 2 has a cool soundtrack courtesy of will.i.am.

As far as video games go, I wouldn't be able to pick any specific titles out of Nintendo's archived music. It's all just so wonderful.

My favorite film soundtrack is probably The Life Aquatic.

Oh, one of my favorites is the Up soundtrack. Amazing.

Knytt has wonderfully moving music.

Mortal Kombat definitely has the best theme some of all video games ever.

FIFA 10 and 09. Pretty much all of them.

Halo 3 ODST, hands down so far.

any wes anderson film usually has a good to great soundtrack.

Requiem for a dream's various pieces by clint mansell are amazing. The end music for 28 days later is also pretty sweet.

Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening.

Especially Tal Tal Heights.

Any 8-bit Pokemon tune hits me with a nostalgia bomb and a half. Zelda music is also good, and Sonic the Hedgehog too.

Machinarium.

Forgot to mention one. Anybody played the new Prince of Persia game? The music is just incredible. I would get the soundtrack for my iPod if I knew where to find it (or if it even exists as a computer file). Best music ever.

And SM64, too. Sunshine is... vaguely good. And Brawl.

Yes yes yes.

Also yes.

I'm a very big fan of the Corpse Bride music, first off. Plus, based roughly on the number of songs in my "awesome music" playlist, but in no order... the Lion King, Stardust, Treasure Planet, Let the Right One In, Svidd Neger, Hancock, Horton Hears A Who, Jumper, Wall-E, the Incredibles, parts of Star Wars, Johnny English, Finding Nemo, the Fabulous Destiny of Amelie Poulain.
For anyone who begs to differ with my selection of Disney, the composers are actually decent and well-known for not being with Disney. Pixar doesn't count anyway.

If I had to choose a favourite... I'd have no clue. I just love it all.

In terms of films, just about anything by John Williams and Joe Hisaishi, LOTR, The Godfather Trilogy, Lawrence of Arabia, The Third Man and Little Miss Sunshine.

In terms of games,

and pretty much all of the FIFA games, like Izzy said.

Vya, holy fuck, we are the same person. That is /the best/ music /ever/. I /love/ the /shit/ out of that theme.

Since Pheidi hasn't seen this thread yet, I will mention the obligatory Pokemon stuff. I'm not sure whether this is actually good music or if I'm just conditioned to like it due to my childhood. Finished reading.

As for movies, I love LotR's track, especially the bits involving Rohan in TTT. My exact favorite moment, to elaborate, is the few opening notes played as Aragorn, Gimli, and Legolas first approach Edoras. (There's a flag flapping, everyone looks sad, a board breaks or something.) Very sad, very moving, very elegant.

Oh and of course Star Wars.

I could have sworn that said flag fapping.
Um.

Yeah, I love the Rohan music, but nothing in LOTR beats the beacon scene music imo.

Is that the one with Sigur Ros music? Or it was introduced with Sigur Ros music at an E3 or... something to do with Prince of Persia and Sigur Ros.

Thanks!

The one I'm thinking of was the 2008 one, for which Inon Zur and Stuart Chatwood composed the music. Brilliant stuff.
